As a tattoo artist and painter I have used concepts almost every day for almost a full year. Whether it be for working out a tattoo design or doing a full size painting , I trust it over all other programs that I have. Intuitive and easy to navigate.
It was useful for me to SEE an artist drawing: The way he prepared to make the strokes by rehearsing them a couple times before he put the pencil on the pad. As Yogi Berra said, "You can observe a lot just by watching."
You can learn most skills, in fact, just by watching. It seems to be how our brains most prefer to learn. Note how little kids always see someone doing something and say "Let me try!"
@@FortWhenTeaThyme Yes, exactly. It's such a strong and simple method and even if not enough by itself, it's the best possible assist tool. Works for pretty much anything. That's what makes TH-cam awesome, I just read an interview with a now renowned photo retoucher who says how grateful he is for better retouchers from around the world going 1 on 1 with him on Skype back in 2007, for lack of TH-cam videos.
Reaching my 30s and decided to learn how to draw again, this video allowed me to discover the Concept app. I downloaded the warm up sheets too.. I hope I can keep up and awaken the sleeping artist in me 😂. Its never too late, right?
@Andrea Fernandez my dad just bought me procreate for my ipad. I have an ipad pro and an apple pencil. I'm trying to learn how to draw and how to create my own art. Have any tips or video I can use to enhance my drawings? I don’t know where to start on how to draw. I’m thinking of just watching tutorials to get the rhythm down but not to sure. Much appreciated!
@Andrea Fernandez great advice! Thankyou for the feedback. I will definitely start free drawing and get comfortable. My friends have told me that how they draw is that they "just have fun." So free drawing is perfect. Just draw what's on my mind and I will slowly get better and thrive to learn more. Discord: Boogie#9553
What I love about the Concepts app is how it gives you the tools to really take your beginner doodling skills to the next level with ease. I am one of those people that innately "can't draw". I needed a new hobby to take my mind off the constant stream of bad news in the world. I decided to take up hand lettering and doodling. I didn't want to buy a lot of paper and pens before I got started with the basics. Using the Concepts app has allowed me to practice the basics and get my feet wet without investing tons of money on the materials up front. Also, sketching on a digital platform - like Concepts - gives me all sorts of handy tools that allow me to put together a full sketch project that I could never do on paper at my skill level. Tools like undo, eraser sizing, lassoing, layering, copying to clipboard, resizing, etc. If I tried to doodle a whole scene of animals on paper using pencils and markers, I would make tons of mistakes and get very frustrated before I got very far. Obviously, the goal would be to eventually not rely on these digital tools. But its nice to be satisfied with my end product, even with minimal skill, knowledge, and practice...especially since this is just a fun diversion from news, social media, etc. This Concepts app is easy to learn and I highly recommend it to fellow sketch beginners looking to get started and have some fun while learning. I also find the instructional TH-cam videos very helpful.
I don't plan on becoming an artist, as I've got enough time to waste on my instruments, but I'm going to uni next quarter and I'm going to be taking classes that will require some decent sketching skills. So, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial!
I've wanted to learn how to draw for years now but I could never stick with it. I'm very logical so creativity is new to me. As well as this, I am naturally very good academically so I'm not used to having to struggle to achieve my goals and would often give up at the first hurdle. I'm hoping that this series encourages me to keep trying and finally achieve a pride in persevering.
Perfect timing. I love the Concepts app and just the other day i made a note to myself that i wanted to learn how to sketch better. The warm up and practice shapes is a great start and i wouldn't have thought of this. I look forward to other Learn to Draw videos in your series.
I started drawing 47 years ago and learning it 20 years later. This clip is a wellcome and well communicated warm up. I'm just looking forward to my next drawings. Thanks a lot.
It's been 2 years since I last draw not because I was busy it is because I was so lazy but now I have decided to start drawing again. Hope so i don't gave up this time
As a fashion/advertising photogrpaher, it's far easier for me to create a mood board quickly (Or convey a concept visually) because I can also draw. I am not a great artist but drawing since I started walking. And my drawing is good enough to convey the concept I plan.
Everything that you have been scribbling, I scribble when I was in grade school. It was so relaxing to watch . It took me back. I am sad that I stopped. I miss it so much as an adult.
Thanks for a great tutorial on drawing. Learned some new tips, and sometimes the simplest ones are the ones you overlook the most like dating your art. I love my roll of tracing paper. I have a sheet cutter and I would cut 12x12 sheets. That in itself was great therapy. The hard part I am having is to slow down my thoughts. I have over 30yrs of pinned up ideas. I had to put my art on the back burner. Now that I have a chance to do my art it comes out quicker than I thought so I keep a pad to jot down thoughts as I draw something else. And 2 I have to learn to relax my hand I sometimes cramp of holding a pencil hard. I have moved my hand up the pencil to loosen the grip.
Dude, this video was absolutely brilliant. Just the idea of repeating those shapes to build the necessary skills was exactly what I needed to get and idea of how to start drawing!! Thanks so much man
This is a great video for foundational concepts. As a complete beginner this helped me let go of unrealistic expectations of being able to draw like a to all the time, every time, from the start
That’s the thing, we actually have to start learning, trying, and get us the time to do it. Because everyone that u see on insta and TikTok,has DEF watched vids and worked their asses off practicing, there’s only way way to start and that’s by starting. A tip, set a day for when u will actually sit down and watch a vid and draw along with it on ur sketchbook and LEARN, it’ll only be the beginning to ur journey.
Fantastic video!! Looking forward to watching the rest! For warm-ups, I was taught to do five to ten minutes of contour drawing, look at my palm and draw the ridges and creases, get lost in the shapes and negative space.
I bought how to draw by scott robertson a couple of years ago and....I didn't understand anything but after some practice I finally see the benefits. Instead of breaking down the objects or cars I do it with the human body and it is super helpful
It is interesting to learn that people actually practice drawing and warm up before sketches. I guess I always presumed even the pros just knew what they were doing.
Was an architecture student(chosed that course on impulse and stopped after a semester. because of some laws that got approved that restricts architects movement and pandemic caused decline in focus )then decided want to be an industrial designer but for some reason(family says I can't live on my own because that certain uni is tooooo far) end up shifting to multimedia arts... But I still want to study the former two... (in the future I hope...) and chemistry... Gosh, my interest are widespread I don't know what to do.
i ended up buying a tab s7+ just to have but have now decided that i want to learn to draw as a hobby mostly. i hope too build up until i can draw the scenes i see in my head when i read those touching moments in books. i also want to learn a constructive hobby and drawing seemed perfect. thank you for the tips
Very important 1)Working memory. You use this to store information for short periods. ... 2)Episodic memory.

2:23 I looked around and first things i saw made me wonder wtf...: rectangular clock monitors... rectangular shelves... table speakers... boxes cabinet more boxes printer .... i lost hope at some point, then finally desk lamp with round case roll of paper round fan at an old laptop cooler some lenses ... damn, i need to go more... round... i need more oval shapes in my office bruh! But i love to draw rectangular shapes more anyway for now ;-)
i want to learn digital drawing.. do i have to make this practices on paper or on phone? and which application is best for digital art in Android phone?
Going back to uni again for my next degree, I'll be doing a lot of design work! My iPad gets here in a week and I've got a reminder to get the app! This was so cool to find!
I spent like 2 months just doing circles, squares and triangles because it felt like the intuitive thing to practice. I improved literally 0% from the first day to the end of 60 days lol
I've ways envied and looked up to my big bro because of his talent for drawing, since I was little. So I'd always say "I wish I could draw" and I never do, because I'd rather not take the spotlight away from my bro. So I end up making excuses so that I never sit down and try to get better at it. But lately I have so many stories floating around in my head that I'm craving to let out, and drawing is the only way that I can realistically achieve that on my own. My one major issue is that I don't know how to develope the discipline and be patient. I end up brainstorming without ever getting anything done.
Sometimes creating smaller daily practices can help strengthen those discipline muscles. Building a habit is difficult no matter what it is. The more you work those muscles, the more fun it becomes.
As a new artist in training I’m beating myself up because my sketches aren’t perfect down to the pixel, meanwhile my warmups look as good as if not cleaner than his.
i have a question, at 8:03, you are showing the artist drawing those lines, and then a setting where he is bending and distorting those same lines… could you tell me where this function is in the app? I love what I seen so far in the app when I downloaded it an hour ago, as I want to do anime art and automotive art. ^^ Cheers and God Bless…

"You can turne your tablet in a position that is comfortable for you."
Me: "Is this some kind of joke that im to poor to understand?"
I feel u bro
you can turn it if its not comfortable for your hand but if u want to turn ur drawing then i suggest just using your fingers to move the canvas x'D
The fact is it applicable to a paper sketchbook too

Great tutorial. Thank you. I never would have thought of warming up or doing drills. I'm just learning to sketch now in my 50s :)
I'm just glad that i'm not the only one who can't draw perfect circles.
What amazes me the most is how they're able to record a tablet screen so nicely. Wondering what kind of lights set up they use.

.... i lost hope at some point, then finally
desk lamp with round case
roll of paper
round fan at an old laptop cooler
some lenses

damn, i need to go more... round... i need more oval shapes in my office bruh!
But i love to draw rectangular shapes more anyway for now ;-)
I dunno if it was his objective or not but i died when he casually pulled that bicycle that was on top of the table
So it was :DD
